Well, if dwarves clean autonomously, we'd need a "Never Clean Here" designation as well. Otherwise, we'd risk dwarves cleaning the mud out from under farms or crawling onto roofs to clean the acidic slime off.

Or screwing up your puddle of vampire gore before you get your undead super soldier project off the ground, yeah.

Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.

We could use a designation like the one for pathing-- "cleaning priority", with a default of 'don't clean', but with automatic updates to 'clean' when a tile becomes (part of):
  • a room
  • a construction
  • a burrow
  • certain types of zones
It would still be possible to designate cleaning or no-cleaning zones manually, but normally it wouldn't be necessary.
